   so i chose fidonet for this post on purpose. :P i wanted it go get out to as   
   many nix users as possible, with a broad reach that will get to bbs users   
   beyond my inner-circle... i've been having a great time learning linux from   
   scratch. believe it or not, i've installed lfs several times; sometimes   
   because - broken, but once i got the hang of it, and learned the underlying   
   skills needed to create successful systems, it was more about trying all the   
   flavors of lfs available.   
      
   i ended up liking lfs_sd [linux from scratch systemd] and blfs [beyond linux   
   from scratch]. i'm getting consistent builds and even use alfs [automated   
   linux from scratch] which uses scripting to streamline the build process - anf   
   then you just edit the handful of 'variable' files it builds.. hostname,   
   hosts, resolve.conf and network settings files... fstab and things like that.   
   blah.   
      
   i've got a pretty solid system now, with a good kernel build, that has   
   networking - both eth and wifi!!! i've built several after-lfs packages like   
   cmatrix, openssh, nano and m0re.   
      
   are there other lfs users in the bbs-land? do you run on actual hardware -   
   this is what i find most useful... if you have a thinkpad thats a bit long in   
   the tooth, its a great platform.    
      
   what do you like to install on? i prefer live-linunx usb's; endevourOS,   
   knoppix or even tails... i like to install lfs to a separate HDD as doing so   
   with the donor and lfs on one drive is - ugly.   
      
   lemme know if you've been counted on lfs. lemme know if you've built anything   
   - well not even cool, but... useful? no... lemme know, tho. :P
